Here you go

Thanks for helping Srenity! I'm sad to report tho that those are the wheel locks, as opposed to the standard lugs.

Thats ok. I'll keep looking.

Performance Nissan, located in Duarte, CA, ....call them as they are not in their online catalog. They can get them for you thru their parts dept. West Coast best known online parts and aftermarket parts. Good prices. I have purchased many items from them, straight up dealership.

Good morning guys!

I don't have to be in to work until 10am so I'm just taking my sweet time getting ready!

I'll be pulling her out of bed in a wee bit over an hour for a spirited 35-40 minute drive!

Not one to dissapoint..here's my morning coffee bit!

Good morning mr. Galeforce!

TheGreatOne · 04-30-2012, 08:25 AM

Morning guys!

At 1am I installed my CF Side Blades...install went really well all by myself. So happy with the look, subtle yet makes a statement if that makes sense.

I took some cell pics but have a car meet tonight, sure someone will take some nicer pics

Also filled up last night...well I think I did, paid $90.99, car wouldn't accept anymore gas...look at the guage, still 2 dots short...but i recall reading our cars do that.

Ouch! That's one reason I'm getting a 91 octane map to add to my existing 94 octane map. I also had/have the same fuel gauge problem as you. The dealership replaced the fuel senders. I haven't filled my car up since because I had 3/4 of a tank with 94 octane. I'm going to run this to empty then fill with 91 for my tune.

Yup, hope to do my tune end of May and will definteily have a 91 tune and get a 94, we'll see how often I use the 94 map with these prices lol.

Fuel senders eh, I might be going for a check up soon so I'll bring that up. thanks!

Yeah, they replaced the fuel senders in a couple of hours. It worth getting them replaced if you're still in warranty.

You can always rent a car. I had my street in my neighborhood repaved twice due to an errror with the contractors. I rented a car twice when they were laying down the oily stuff.

yes, the CS mirrors are nice, but they are manual mirrors with lockable pivot point so not sure if you want to use if your car is a dd. something to think about. for me my Z is my hobby car and noone but me comes close to the car so i dont have to worry too much about bumping the mirrors. i am careful not to bump it with my big head while QD-ing...

One thing you will need to do to run the mic on the Hero 2 is either purchase the "skeleton case" or drill a hole in the waterproof case at the mic jack location. Sorry for the late response.

mr.alchemy- what kind of mount are you using? i want to get the one mr.zforce recommended a few weeks ago in the interior/exterior section but hummm... they dont seem to be available at the moment.

yah, this is a common problem with G's too. seems like nissan can't get this fixed. modshack recommended to keep the gas near full while parked for longer than a week so that the fuel keeps lubricating the sensors. ive been filling my Z as soon as she gets to 1/2 full, so far near 3yrs no problems.

my G's been having this issue off and on. it's not all the time but some times she literally can only fill up to about 90% due to the angle of the pump nozzle. some times she is full, but the sendor shows she's only 90% full and so on. i just reset my trip meter after each fillup and use that as my backup guage.

Mine registered just fine before it went into storage. I filled the tank to the brim and out the cover on it until spring. Both times I filled it up after storage, the fuel gauge gave me problems, not registering full. So I'm not sure if keeping a full tank is going to help at all, but doesn't hurt. Good tip using the trip meter. I do the same thing.
